There would have been an extraordinary complex on the hill The Cathedral at the southern entrance to Guilford had the intentions of John Gardner Murray, ’s seventh Episcopal bishop been carried out. While the proposal to build a cathedral came from the that Wasn’t previous bishop, Bishop Murray was the driving force behind the magnificent dream. TOM HOBBS Planning for the ambitious project started in 1908 with a subscription campaign and shortly thereafter the hiring of the A MASSIVE CATHEDRAL COMPLEX architect Henry Vaughan of to prepare preliminary plans WAS PLANNED FOR GUILFORD BETWEEN for building locations. In 1909 the Episcopal Diocese purchased CHARLES AND ST. PAUL STREETS as the cathedral site a portion of the Merryman estate at the southwestern edge of the Guilford plat. The elevated land between Charles Street and St. Paul Street at University Parkway was considered an ideal location and the designers of Guilford altered plans to accommodate the cathedral. Among the Olmsted plans are many sketches reconfiguring Bishops Road, St. Martin’s Road and St. Paul Street to better present the cathedral complex and working with the cathedral architects Olmsted designed an imposing plaza See CATHEDRAL, page 6

There are many ongoing projects and events to report, some of which are also covered in more detailed articles but I want to share with you a summary. Street Trees and Sidewalks. This spring and summer the programs to restore street trees and replace deteriorated sidewalks have continued. Both efforts have been priorities of the Association and location priorities are annually given to the City. Bretton Place and Suffolk Road were particularly important as locations of the earliest Guilford development and areas where the horse chestnut trees have become diseased and died. Through the efforts of the Association and residents the streets have been re-treed with maples. Sidewalks have been replaced on Chancery Road, the area surrounding Gateway Park and Rugby Road. The City assumes the cost of the sidewalk replacement if the area is damaged by city tree roots. The cost of the replacement of other damaged areas is assessed to the adjacent home owner. The tree planting and sidewalk replacement will continue in future years as city resources permit. House and Garden Pilgrimage Results. The spring tour of Guilford homes as part of the Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage (MHGP) was a spectacular success with over 2000 visitors participating. The resulting funds that were raised will be setaside to help support an essential reserve/endowment for . A total of $61,306 was received from the event, $48,910 awarded from MHGP for ticket sales and ads and $12,396 received from Garden Café and lunch sales.

Once the goal of 20% is reached, the return on investment will exist to justify the installation of fiber optic cable and encourage further investment. Fiber optic cable has the potential to offer a wider array of high-speed internet packages, HD television, and digital phone services and introduce more competition to the marketplace. With fiber optic cable it is even possible to receive high-speed bandwidth capable of achieving download speeds as fast as 1-gigabit. By comparison, 1-gigabit internet service is 10x faster than the quickest internet service available in Baltimore City and 300x faster than basic DSL. Many of the private Universities surrounding our community already offer this service to their students and faculty. In order to reach the campaign’s objective of 20% backing from Guilford households by September 18th , interested residents are encouraged to login to the CrowdFiber website provided below, create an account, and pledge $10 to show their support and help fund this all volunteer effort. By making this pledge, residents are only agreeing to “consider” donating $10, as no money will be exchanged until the 20% goal is reached. Based on data collected from other cities who have installed fiber optic cable, the average monthly cost to receive the fastest (gigabit) service ranges between $70 – $150. This service would replace what residents currently pay for internet service and may also help to contribute to lowering the price of television and phone services in the area as well. For the Guilford neighborhood, 20% backing translates to 158 households. To date, only 25 of the 158 household needed have pledged their support. If Guilford does not reach this commitment level by the fast approaching September 18th deadline, but other Baltimore communities do, the Guilford neighborhood could be left out. Therefore if you would like access to improved broadband service, lower prices, and increased competition in the marketplace,

10 FALL 2013 The Northway Apartments

TOM HOBBS

The Northway Apartments at the corner of N. Charles Street and Bishops Road is located at the entrance of Guilford at the south. The building designed by Edward Palmer was once “one of the city’s more stylish and pedigreed addresses.” The residence offered large units with high ceilings, hard wood floors, unique spacious roof terraces resulting from the ziggurat design of the building, a restaurant and 24-hour doorman. The apartments were designed to look like the interiors of Guilford homes. The Northway over the years, however, fell on hard times with little capital investment and prolonged management issues. Because of its proximity to the Hopkins Homewood campus the building in recent years has been occupied largely by students. In the spring of 2013 tenants were notified that leases would be terminated and that apartments must be vacated, becoming aware that the building was sold. About the same time the surrounding communities of Guilford and Tuscany Canterbury and the St. James and Colonnade Condominiums became aware that the intention of the new ownership group was to convert the building to student housing. Not until early June did the developers meet with community representatives and present their plans. The new owner of the Northway is a development partnership The Northway Apartment Building on N. Charles Street is being converted to student of the current owner and the Varsity Investment Group, an affiliate housing. The Guilford Association is monitoring the renovations. of Potomac Holdings.

MATT POSTLETHWAIT, MD LICENSED TREE EXPERT, BEECHFIELD LANDSCAPING, INC.

Guilford’s rich history is evident in the unique residential architecture. An early European influence is also apparent in garden design and plant selection throughout the community. The European influence can be seen in the abundance of climbing vines in the gardens. Wisteria, clematis, climbing hydrangea, Virginia creeper, trumpet vine, and English ivy are common sights in many of the landscapes throughout Guilford. These vines can add another dimension of beauty to the landscape when properly maintained, but some can also create problems when allowed to ascend trees and shrubbery. Topping the list of potentially problematic vines is English ivy. When allowed to climb, English ivy can pose threats to the health, and ultimately, the appearance of trees. The risks include:

• competition for nutrients and water • interference with photosynthesis by blocking sunlight to the trees foliage • increase in weight which can lead to structural failure of the tree • increased snow, ice, and wind load which can also lead to structural failure • potential for disease and decay by trapping moisture against the tree’s trunk • girdling or strangling of trunk and limbs

In addition to English Ivy, other problematic vines include wisteria, trumpet vine, and morning glory. It is best to remove these vines from trees before they become established. The longer they are left to grow, the more difficult they will be to remove. When attempting to remove vines, arm yourself with hand pruners, loppers, and possibly a hand saw. It is also best to wear gloves and long sleeves in case you encounter poison ivy. Start by cutting out a section of each individual vine until you have established a 1' to 2' “vine free” band around the base of the trunk. The reason for removing a section is because if the vine is simply cut, it could potentially heal itself and continue to grow. Some thick vines may require sawing, but be careful not to cut into the trunk when doing so. Next, wait until after a good rain, and pull the vine out by the roots (saturated ground will make the root removal Climbing vines like English ivy, wisteria, trumpet vine, and morning much easier). Allow the remainder of the vine to remain in the tree glory can pose threats to the health unless it can be removed without damaging the tree’s branches. of trees. Its best to remove these vines from trees before they become The severed vines will die and visually blend into the tree trunk established. once the dead foliage falls off. Although many climbing vines can be problematic, others such as Clematis, Virginia creeper and climbing hydrangea are deciduous and can be allowed to climb trees if properly managed. These vines are less aggressive and therefore less of a threat. If you have specific questions or are concerned about the health of your tree(s), contact a certified arborist and/or licensed tree expert for a consultation.
